Physically Transient Distributed Feedback Laser Using Optically Activated Silk Bio‐Ink

Abstract

Optically activated silk bio-ink is used to realize a physically transient distributed feedback laser. By water-washing and recoating, a fresh single-use laser can be easily obtained. Along with reliable lasing, a chemosensing application to detect a toxic acid vapor is presented.
